Red Flag? Turbo replaced at 32K miles, '97 Aero. AND...

I'm considering buying a pre-owned '97 Aero (auto trans) with 62K miles on it. The first owner leased and put 17K on it in a year. A Saab dealer in Chicago had it for a year, July to July, and put 1400 miles on it. They sold it to the last owner who drove it for 7000 miles when radiator was replaced. After 5000 more miles the Turbo was replaced at 32,500 miles. During the rest of the Warranty period, it was in 7 more times for minor problems notably: heater core replacement, p/s hydraulic pump, FI ECU, rear anti-roll bar, center muffler, front wheel cap assy (twice), A/T main case pan (spark plugs at same time), three way cat. converter. The 5000 mile service was documented at Saab dealer, all other services done at Saab Reseller (Saab Exchange, Chicago).
Car now has 62K on it. I can't see that anything has been done since the Cat converter at 59K (goodwill service).
Does anyone see cause for great concern with the above events? I didn't like seeing the Turbo replacement, esp. considering it's an automatic. What recommendations can anyone offer? Thanks.
